event on Sunday on a General Admission Basis.

New aircraft announcement! That's right, we are still committed to bringing you the best of the best. We are pleased to announce the attendance of the P51D Mustang ‘Marinell’. Marinell was originally shipped to the UK in June 1944 and based with the 339th Fighter Group at Fowlmere, Cambridgeshire. She was shot down over Northern France a mere 45 days later, but during that time claimed four enemy aircraft. She was faithfully restored in 2008 by legendary aircraft engineer, Maurice Hammond and now flies out of Duxford.

Finally got to take my flight in a Spitfire...a birthday present from my lovely wife. Drove down to Headcorn Aerodrome in Kent, and had the perfect English summer’s afternoon messing around with vintage warbirds in England's garden. We took off with another Spit, to give us a sense of what it would have been like flying in formation... the passenger in the other being a lovely old chap called Donald, who was 90, and had flown old Pipers back in the 50's. They got us up to about 4000 feet before splitting off left and right. My amazing pilot Charlie took us down to the Battle of Britain War Memorial in Dover, and did a victory roll over the white cliffs,before turning back, performing another one high over the airfield, and getting me safely back on terra firma... with the biggest smile on my face you've ever seen.
Thanks to all the lovely folks down at Headcorn for their professionalism and for just being so sweet and kind.
An incredible experience...
Would do it all again in a heart beat...
